Please advice:Triple six matte 850M serial and MK1 dial?
Hi friends,
I really need your advice on this one. I am interested in a rolex sea dweller 16660 matte dial with serial number 850M that has a MK1 matte dial. Is this possible? I thought it should have a MK2 dial. Please help. Many thanks in advance. |

The serial number seems to be a bit too late for a MK1 dial in my opinion.
I have one which is has a MK2 dial with a 8.2m serial. |

The dial looks nice. Generally speaking I find MK1 dial having more pronounced patina than MK2 dials.
The case seems the be quite polished (lugs appear to be very thin). The insert seems to be slightly later one. I use to see them more with a flat top 4 type. |

Thanks for your input, please keep it coming.
I like the dial also but is it original? More pictures. |

If you do a simple search on the classifieds you will find many 16660s and all those listings show the first 2 of the serial and many good pictures to compare the case to. 8.5 is to late in my opinion.

Dial is nice, whether original to watch or not. Case appears very polished.

My opinion is that it seems too late for a mk1 (mine is earlier for sure, around 7.1 million) but I also believe no one can absolutely tell you with certainty that it isn't original (other than Rolex, who will not). If you like the watch, I suggest inspecting it to your satisfaction in terms of condition and not worry so much about this aspect....I do agree from that one pic the crown guards seemed to have hit the wheel a bit too hard. |
